Hey David. It was great to meet you at Oshkosh. I'm just sorry I forgot to take your picture so I could put it on myairplane.com with our Oshkosh 2004 photos....
The upper engine cowling mould is finished, getting on with the actual carbon cowling now, and starting to work on the lower cowling buck as well. I applied to...
I got the boost controller working tonight, operated by the PLC that also runs the propeller controller and a few other systems. Just a pulse valve run by a...
David, how much does that cost, the controller and wastegate, and where can we find out more about it, please? ... From: "David Algie" <aca@...> To:...
Waiting on the Nomex honeycomb order to arrive so I can finish the upper cowling layup, so I have been working on the lower cowling, a few last checks and I'll...
Lurker here, The recent copy of Custom Planes (I think) has a couple of good articles about the latest generation of small block Chevy. One thing that was...
... The author of these articles, Len Bechtold, will be speaking at Copperstate next month. www.copperstate.org Here's the full schedule of engine forums as it...
Yes, a pretty interesting idea, almost to the cartridge starter system used on aircraft radials many years ago. Dumping probably 20 lbs of starter and cables...
New Lister Here, Yeh, it's the September '04 issue of Custom Planes that has an article on Predator Aviation "Solving the High Cost of Horsepower" by...
Update: Express Aircraft Company (http://www.express-aircraft.com/) went bankrupt Sept 13th. It was a pretty nice plane, carried 140 gal. of fuel, cruised...
Will, thanks for the comments! Some answers, fuel capacity will be aobut 62 US gallons, it has fuel cells and the wing is elliptical so I can't get an exact...
A place to start is to use a BSFC of 0.45 lb/hp/hour, (an efficient engine) or 0.075gal/hp/hour. For 300 hp, that equates to 22.5 gallons per hour -- but I...
DaveA, Thought you might take a look at this LS-1 waterpump. Go to: http://www.evanscooling.com/news/ls1Pmp.htm It's way further down the road, but the Evans...
I wondered when a new pump would come out for the LS1. The aftermarket industry is really starting to come on board with this engine, it really might become...
I posted a couple of new pics in the photos section, and in the files section, of the cowling in place, and the wastegate exhaust in place. I'll update the...
Yes, a turbo is a nice rotary muffler, should quiten the exhaust sound down to a less than deafening rumble. Note also that the LP1 has the exhaust exit aft of...
Will there be enough room in the tunnel (or somewhere) to add a muffler? I'd like to make the plane as quiet as a car. David M. ... From: "David Algie"...
There is "some" room behind the cockpit for a muffler, but that's about the only place. The tunnel is 5" dia and the turbo tailpipe is 3" dia, it needs the 1"...
I have been watching the development of this engine and plane for quite some time now. I am excited to see not only the performance of the plane but the...
I am very impressed with the parts you have produced thus far. I do have a couple of questions, however. It appears that the engine gearbox and propellor are...
The price I have listed is for the complete airframe including landing gear and engine mount/ nosegear frame; everything that will get the aircraft to sit on...
Dave, do you know about what pressure you will run the cabin at yet? With the strength of a carbon fibre pressure vessel, you could run it fairly high I would...
I planned from the beginning to run the cabin at sea level pressure, the cockpit is designed with very thick honeycomb and will use 0.50" thick windows bonded...
